Shaking his head and turning to Knuckles, a deep frown at the denial of the use of the emerald.

There was no way he +

A half hearted chuckle as he'd scratch the back of his head.

"Given what I had to do last time... I don't think I can do that. So I'm gonna need one of the emeralds. Please."

"I hate it here. So... SO much."

A rub of his face as he'd relax as the other Mobian did, slowly approaching him, frowning.

"It's not a costume, sadly. I was changed years ago by Egghead when he drained the chaos emeralds and woke up Dark Gaia, when the energy from my super form was drained, it +

"Eurgh... My. My middle name is Maurice."

Rubbing at his face as he said it through clenched fangs, eyes falling upon the red echidna.

"Happy?"

"How can you not- MUTT?!"

That only worked to further agitate and enrage the werehog, wanting oh so badly to jump on Knuckles and give him a good smack or three.

But he couldn't do that to his friend, it would be wrong! Though, he does owe the echidna for a few hits back in the day...

No. No. He+

"THIEF??? Knuckles, you idiot, it's me!" A deepening of his growl as he'd move forward, walking down Knuckles.

"It's Sonic, I..."

Looking down, suddenly realizing the state he was in.

"You gotta believe me."

"Geez, Knux, what the hell was that for?!"

A low growl as he'd stand upright, glaring right at the red echidna.

Sonic (Werehog event!) @loathsomecopy.bsky.social · 5d

"Kinda quiet..."

A frown, he knew Knuckles would never leave this place unguarded, arms crossed as he'd keep looking around, though the scent of the echidna was strong. He could always track him...

Well, that was before he'd feel the two handed strike of the other, a loud yell as he was sent away+

"No time to waste!"

Stretching his arms to grab on the top of a couple trees as he'd slowly back up, staring at the floating island off in the distance, eyes gauging the distance.

"Just another step... and to the left..."

Suddenly flung forward like a slingshot from his arms, shouting as he'd +

And he's bursting out with laughter at the utter blazing rage that crossed back to his end.

"AHHHAHAHAHA. He's so easy to rage bait."

Metal Sonic @fatefulrival.bsky.social · 8d

“GOD DAMN IT- HEDGEHOG!!
/STOP/!”

Metal shouts to no one in the vicinity, but the sudden /torrent/ of anger that’d flood the link to drown out Sonic’s nonsense, now, should send a clue!

Sonic (Werehog event!) @loathsomecopy.bsky.social · 8d

A smirk, he could feel it, he was glad this way of communicating was effective.

'Every time you see me, you will have the urge to make me a chili dog!'

Metal Sonic @fatefulrival.bsky.social · 8d

Unfortunately for Sonic’s critically assessed efforts, Metal has absolutely No concept of ‘hunger’, ‘taste’, nor ‘desire’ for any sorts of foods.

..But the words *do* eventually cross his stream of thought, much to his confusion.

Metal holding his head, appearing thoughtfully confused.

Sonic (Werehog event!) @loathsomecopy.bsky.social · 8d

'Chili dogs chili dogs chili dogs.'

Intense staring while he focuses on his favorite food to test their link.

+you better keep your end of the bargain here. Last thing I need is to give up a whole emerald just to have you bail on me.

Give me a day to go get one of them, I'm certain, even in this form, I can convince Knucks to give me one as a loaner for a bit."

"Why the hell do you want those goggles, you don't even have eyes!"

A strained growl of words as he pulled metal a tinge closer, before he'd relent to himself, a sigh as he'd let go and pull his arm back, the strain already setting in from the tug of war with Metal

"Fine. You can have them! But+

Sonic (Werehog event!) @loathsomecopy.bsky.social · 9d

A smirk as he held on rather tight, shaking his head, utterly refusing to let go, even starting to pull the other towards him, feet dug in.

"I may not be fast, but I'm nice and strong in this form! Now, what are we trading?"

A laugh as he'd simply keep Metal there, a true negotiator.

Sonic (Werehog event!) @loathsomecopy.bsky.social · 9d

"What— hey, where do you think you're going?!"

Sure, he wasn't fast in this form, but he made up for it by way of stretching, arm flung forward and grabbing Metal.

"You're not going anywhere!"

A balled fist was raised and shaken at the other.

Oh, this was a bad, terrible, awful idea. But what other choice did he have? He couldn't just go and speed away from this like he did every other problem, he had to fix this!

But... was the help worth the price? At the first mention of an emerald, he was already wanting to rescind his offer. +
